Akule By Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds Throughout the state of Hawai‘i is where the Akule lives. The Akule lived peacefully with all its neighbors of the sea. If one of the fish needed help, he was helped. If one of the Akule was going off the path, all the Akule surrounded him to keep the form and security of the school. However, when the Taape entered the eight seas of Hawai‘i all they did was make trouble to the coral homes of the ocean. The Taape didn’t know the values of love and sharing in the seas of Hawai‘i, and out of this stupidity came violence. The coral homes where demolished, the food was eaten, but the ugliest thing done by the Taape, was the stealing of all the young akule. The Taape told the Akule, “If you guys want to see your young again, you have to feed us.” What was the Akule to do? After awhile, they asked for the knowledge of the eldest Akule. The old Akule told them, “here is the thing to do, feed the Taape so that their bodies are fat and lazy, and some of you go and find a net. When the Taape are fat and lazy throw a net over them.” The Akule went and fed the Taape the riches and fattest foods of the ocean and when the Taape were really fat and lazy, the other Akule showed up with the net and threw it over them. The Taape swam all over the net and got tangled, they couldn’t get out of the net and all their motion sent the net right over the edge to the deepest depths of the ocean. Needless to say the Akule lived peacefully. |
